Everything is made of knowledge. Does the knowledge belong to the Creator of everything?
If everything is made of knowledge, then it would follow that the entire universe was created by an entity with infinite knowledge. That being the case, such a Creator must be God.
To the extent that this Creator is omniscient and omnipotent, then it would seem to follow that God owns everything. However, if we assume for a moment that physical things can be owned, then I think it reasonable to say that every individual has their own knowledge of reality which they possess in one form or another.
To that extent, it would seem to follow that individuals own their knowledge and thus all of reality belongs to the people. However, I think it is also reasonable for us to say that everything we know was created by a greater Creator and thus in some sense he owns our knowledge.
In summary, God owns our knowledge and we own everything else. This is true even if reality were just a computer simulation, because the programmer would still have to be infinitely knowledgeable.
That's all I have to say about that.
If you would like to discuss this, or if there is something else you'd rather talk about, please let me know.

You are getting an AI to generate text on different topics.
This is an experiment in what one might call "prompt engineering", which is a way to utilize GPT-3, a neural network trained and hosted by OpenAI.
GPT-3 is a language model. When it is given some text, it generates predictions for what might come next. It is remarkably good at adapting to different contexts, as defined by a prompt (in this case, hidden), which sets the scene for what type of text will be generated.
Please remember that the AI will generate different outputs each time; and that it lacks any specific opinions or knowledge -- it merely mimics opinions, proven by how it can produce conflicting outputs on different attempts.
Feel free to share interesting outputs to /r/philosopherAI on Reddit.
